By summer, she was working as a Junior Accounts Assistant Intern at HeadBox, a London-based events platform, while keeping up with her MBA studies. We sat down with Priyanka to find out how she landed the role, what she\u2019s learned, and what she\u2019d tell other students who are still searching.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hult: How did you find out about the role, and what made you decide to apply?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Priyanka: I always knew I wanted to get an internship and gain some experience in the UK. Hult gives you the option to swap one elective for internship credit, and I knew I wanted to use that. I was applying through Handshake, but what I didn\u2019t know until a fellow student pointed it out was that there\u2019s a dedicated Hult careers page on Handshake, where companies specifically recruit Hult students. Once I found it, I could see which internships were there and which ones made sense for where I wanted to go.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I chose HeadBox specifically because I\u2019m aiming to pivot into finance, and this felt like the right stepping stone. It\u2019s more into accountancy, which is a great first look at financial management before you grow into a bigger company. And the community there is so welcoming. People are always happy to sit down and help. There\u2019s never a barrier. <\/span><br \/>\n<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">H: What was the interview process like?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">P: More involved than I expected! There were three stages:\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">CV screening <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"%1)\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1)&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">An HR interview covering the role, expectations, and skills\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"%1)\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"4\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1)&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A final round with the Head of Finance, with scenario-based questions and a mini case study\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0A lot of us on the MBA have been working for years and haven\u2019t been through an interview process in a long time. It was a different experience, but it was a good one to go through.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">H: How did the Hult careers team and curriculum support you?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">P: The careers team organized a lot of events, and networking was the biggest thing I took from those. It\u2019s a competitive market, and having a connection always helps. At one MBA mixer, I connected with someone who wasn\u2019t even a Hult student or alum<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2014she was just there with a friend. I\u2019m still in touch with her about a role I\u2019m hoping to<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> apply for later this year. You never know where your connections may lead you.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In terms of the curriculum, the first three months of the MBA were intense. Back-to-back assignments, long hours, no clocking off at 6pm. But that pressure built something. The time management and prioritization skills I developed then are exactly what I use now to juggle the internship alongside my studies. I make sure Hult stays my priority, but I also make sure work doesn\u2019t feel the impact of that. It\u2019s a balance I had to learn quickly.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">H: What has been your biggest win since starting?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">P: A few things, honestly. Getting the internship itself was the first one. When you\u2019re applying and not hearing back, that first yes means a lot.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Then, hitting HeadBox\u2019s budget collection targets at the end of my first month. The team recognized it, and that recognition really boosted my confidence. It reminded me I\u2019d made the right choice.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But the biggest win is the team I get to work with. So many different cultures, so many different backgrounds. Getting to learn from that every day is something I\u2019m grateful for.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">H: What has been your biggest challenge?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">P: Adapting to the work-study balance, especially at the start. Some days it was classes in the morning, then work, then coming home to assignments. It takes a toll. You\u2019re tired and drained.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But now, I\u2019ve come to see it differently. That challenge reshapes you. It builds your multitasking, your time management, and your soft skills. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be where I am without it.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And my advice for when it gets too much? Go grab a drink with friends. Seriously. Step away. That\u2019s the most de-stressing thing, and you\u2019ll feel so much better after.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">H: Any advice for Hult students who are searching for an internship?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">P: Don\u2019t give up. It\u2019s a competitive landscape. You might apply to 100 roles and face 95 rejections. But the ones that come through will give you clarity, and they\u2019ll be worth the wait. There\u2019s a saying in Hindi: the wait is always fruitful. I came back to that a lot during the process.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0Practically speaking, here are my three biggest tips:\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">1) Check the dedicated Hult careers page on Handshake, not just the general feed.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">2) Network beyond your immediate circle. Connections come from unexpected places.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">3) Stay open to feedback. Willingness to learn will take you further than confidence alone.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And never think you\u2019ve learned everything. Your hard work will eventually show, but keep the hunger to grow.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Priyanka\u2019s story is a reminder that a pivot takes patience, preparation, and the right support network. At Hult, we\u2019re proud to see students like her step into new industries with the skills and confidence to make an impact from day one.
